#MakingChoicesTogether
Leading and rolling out
Making Choices Together
Choosing Wisely is an international campaign designed to encourage clinicians and patients to engage in conversations about making wise treatment decisions.
It is a clinician-led campaign that will enable clinicians and patients to choose care that avoids unnecessary tests, treatments and procedures.
In Wales, Making Choices Together (formerly Choosing Wisely Wales) is being led by the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges Wales in partnership with Public Health Wales and the Board of community Health councils.
Next Steps & Recent Activity
